Pointe du Grand-Mont, Cape at Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuys, France.

The rocky cliffs of Pointe du Grand-Mont extend into the Atlantic Ocean, offering clear views of Houat, Hoëdic, and Belle-Île islands.

The cape has functioned as a crucial maritime navigation point throughout centuries, guiding vessels through the complex coastal waters of Brittany.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional maritime practices near the cape, with regular gatherings focused on seasonal seafood harvesting.

Visitors can access the cape through a 3.4-kilometer round trip path starting from Govelins Beach, with multiple observation points along the route.

The underwater landscape near the cape contains rocky formations at depths between 2 to 6 meters, creating habitats for diverse marine species.
